Not even Hockenheim was really his fault, Mr. S.
Zonta was going great, stayed out on slicks and had no problem whatsoever in the stadium to keep his laptimes up to pace - probably heading for the podium at that time - when Villeneuve on wets took the inside line at the first corner and went wide where ... Zonta accelerated normally off the dry line. JV touched and spun due to his own manouver and cried whole BAR together about what a lousy collegue Zonta was not to let his mentor by ...
Finally Zonta recieved a stop-and-go penalty after all that whining ... a stop-and-go his race-engineer so cautiously told him about at a great position on the track ... just when braking down from 5th entering the hairpin in the motodrome ... on slicks ... in the wet ... on your way to your first F1-podium. I bet no-one would have made that corner under those circumstances.
They need a grand ol' man at BAR that's for sure - and not JV's former gymteacher- to point out who's leading the team. Just to make decisions in times like that and get to grips with the megalomanic cry for untouchability by JV and make him clear for once and for all that BAR enters TWO cars every GP and that BOTH should be get to maximum performance.
The same thing a little guy called Todt could learn a lot from.
All heard about the Koni-gate at BAR this weekend?
Seems as if Koni developed a new suspension set for the BAR.
JV ran with those on friday; Zonta didn't. He didn't even know about the new dampers when someone told him by accident. 'Hey Ricardo! What do you think of the new Koni's?''Huh? What new Koni's?' Anyway, he went for some clearification, why he wasn't equipped with those and they gave him the magnificent explanation: 'Because you didn't ask for them!'
No, it's great fun running next to JV at BAR, really great fun ... almost as much as fun as running next to TGF at Ferrari. Really the position you wanna be in and great careerbuilding too. No one will blame you for being patronised time after time by your teamboss and his mate, your collegue and pulling the short stroke everytime. Everyone knows you simply can't win that battle.
Except at a forum now and then.
